Strengthening Bridge Order-Winning Capabilities and Response to Maintenance and Repair Projects

「To establish a cooperative framework within the Group and strengthen order capabilities, we opened the Muroran and Sasebo sales offices in April 2026 and the Kumamoto sales office in May.」

「In the Steel Structures and Bridges segment, for the construction project affected by the bridge girder collapse that occurred in July 2023, we implemented recurrence-prevention measures and proceeded cautiously with construction, completing construction and handover in March this year.」

「In the Steel Structures and Bridges segment, operating volume declined partly because the restoration work and completion of construction following the bridge girder collapse were given top priority,」

「In the Steel Structures and Bridges segment operated by us and 函館どつく株式会社, on-site construction for the project affected by the bridge girder collapse that occurred in July last year resumed in January this year. Together with the other projects already received, we will complete and deliver the work safely and reliably, and strive to restore confidence as soon as possible.」

「In the Steel Structures and Bridges segment, construction was significantly delayed by the bridge girder collapse that occurred in July last year, resulting in revenue of ¥5,032 million for the nine months ended the third quarter, down 7.8% year on year.」

「In the Steel Structures and Bridges segment, we will give top priority to responding to the bridge girder collapse and work to restore confidence, while seeking to expand orders for steel structures other than bridges.」

「In the Steel Structures and Bridges segment, production and construction of projects received are progressing, and the order backlog at the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year was ¥9,893 million, up 17.3% year on year.」

「We will continue to strengthen cost competitiveness and develop our engineering capabilities, seek further earnings growth, and explore entry into the bridge repair market, which is expanding. We will also contribute to the maintenance and development of social infrastructure through smoother regional transportation and disaster recovery.」

「In the steel structures and bridge division, production and construction of projects already won progressed smoothly,」

「In the steel structures and bridge division, production and construction of ordered projects progressed smoothly,」

「Order backlog at the end of the first quarter of the current consolidated accounting period was ¥8,437 million, including multiple major bridge construction projects, up 61.9% year on year.」

「In terms of orders, in addition to its traditional major customers, Saga Prefecture, the Kyushu Regional Development Bureau, and Hokkaido, the steel structures and bridge division won bids for major steel road bridges from the Kanto Regional Development Bureau and Chubu Regional Development Bureau. As a result, order backlog at the end of the third quarter of the current consolidated accounting period increased substantially to ¥9,080 million, up 85.0% year on year.」

「Amid fierce competition for orders during the second quarter of the current consolidated cumulative period, we won major bridge construction projects including the Oba No. 2 Viaduct ordered by the Chubu Regional Development Bureau (¥1,220 million), the Ikegami Interchange Bridge ordered by Kumamoto City (¥1,257 million), and the Ajisaka SIC Bridge ordered by Saga Prefecture (¥720 million). Order backlog at the end of the second quarter of the current consolidated accounting period therefore increased substantially to ¥8,047 million, up 79.4% year on year.」

「In the bridge field, we will strengthen initiatives for maintenance and repair work, for which demand is expected to increase, contribute to the maintenance and development of social infrastructure over the long term, and actively develop demand in new fields such as wind power generation by leveraging the technologies we have cultivated」

「Revenue for the second quarter of the current consolidated cumulative period was ¥2,990 million, up 30.3% year on year, as medium-sized bridge projects and other work were completed as scheduled」

「Orders for new bridges have remained at a low level, and competition for orders continues to be extremely intense. We will seek to improve our order-winning capabilities by strengthening our ability to respond to the comprehensive evaluation bidding system, while strengthening initiatives for maintenance and repair work, for which demand is expected to increase steadily. We will contribute to the maintenance and development of social infrastructure over the long term and focus on improving the profitability of construction projects won.」

「As orders for new bridges decline and competition for orders intensifies, we will seek to improve our ability to win orders by strengthening our ability to respond to the comprehensive evaluation bidding system, while strengthening initiatives for maintenance and repair work, for which demand is expected to increase steadily.」

「We will seek to improve the certainty of winning orders by strengthening our ability to respond to the comprehensive evaluation bidding system, while also strengthening initiatives for maintenance and repair work, for which demand is expected to increase steadily. We will contribute to the maintenance and development of social infrastructure over the long term and pursue structural reform and operational improvements that ensure reliable profit generation.」
